192 came to the "Dollywood" property in 1961 when the park first opened as Rebel Railroad and has remained on the property throughout the transistion from Rebel Railroad to Goldrush Junction to Silver Dollar City TN to present day Dollywood.

Great video!! It's nice to see the "Yukon Queen" and her sisters promoted like you've done here. I love #12, but I think #190 should be showcased more by the park.
